The Challenge

Printed QR codes are usually static. Once they are on a flyer, package or billboard, the link can’t be changed and nobody knows who scanned it. Marketing leaders can’t measure the return on offline spend, and a broken or outdated link means a costly reprint.

The Solution and Key Features

Dynamic QR codes
Change the destination URL at any time without changing the printed code
Scan analytics
Countries, cities, devices, operating systems, and total vs unique scans
Self-service onboarding
with free sign-up and immediate access to the dashboard
Dark-mode dashboard
designed for modern business users
Part of the Brayne product family

What Users Say

We wanted a simple way for customers to open our online menu from their phones. Adding a QR code to our tables made the process straightforward, and it fits neatly into our printed materials.
Andrea Marie Santos
Owner, Copperleaf Café
We use QR codes on flyers to direct people to our campaign pages. It’s convenient for someone to scan and visit the page without typing a long web address.
Michael James Carter
Marketing Manager, Oakcrest Creative Studio
Putting a QR code on my business card gives potential clients a quick way to view my portfolio. It’s a small addition, but it makes sharing my work much easier when I meet someone in person.
Daniel Joseph Reyes
Founder, DJ Reyes Photography
We added a QR code to our event posters so guests could open the registration page on their phones. The instructions were easy to follow, and our posters stayed clean without a lengthy website address.
